an organisation of the basic level training enabling the ATSEP to progress to qualification training in at least one of the following disciplines: Communications, Navigation, Surveillance or Data Processing.

2. DEFINITION OF BASIC TRAINING
2.1 Introduction
The basic training is the training needed to enable ATSEPs to begin to work in ATM environment. It is designed in such a way that it gives an overview not only of the CNS/ATM technical and operational environment and of the most important systems and equipment, but also of the role of all the operators within this complex environment.
To function safely and efficiently with any equipment in the operational ATM environment a ‘general understanding and knowledge’ of the whole ATM system is necessary. The basic training covers this requirement.
Most ATSEPs will then specialise in a given discipline and will use specific equipment. They will therefore need more advanced training, relevant to the chosen discipline (qualification training), and training specifically adapted to the type of equipment required for the chosen discipline (type rating).
The EUROCONTROL ‘Guidelines for a Common Qualification Level of Technical Training for Air Traffic Safety Electronics Personnel’ (EATM, 2003 – T32) categorise the qualification training for each of the four disciplines: Communications, Data Processing, Navigation and Surveillance. (In the qualification training the objectives have been organised in five domains: Communications, Data Processing, Navigation, Surveillance and Safety. Each qualification training always includes the corresponding domain and the Safety Domain, plus possibly elements of other domains. ‘Safety’ is therefore common to all domains.)
This document is structured the same way than the guidelines for qualification training, but the following six subjects, which do not enable progress to qualification training, are in addition: ‘Induction’, ‘Air Traffic Familiarisation’, ‘Meteorology’, ‘Maintenance Procedures’, ‘Facilities’, and ‘System Monitoring and Control’.
2.2 The Basic Training Subjects
The subjects that are included in the basic training are:
.
Subject 1:   INDUCTION,

.
Subject 2:   AIR TRAFFIC FAMILIARISATION,

.
Subject 3:   COMMUNICATIONS,

.
Subject 4: DATA PROCESSING,

.
Subject 5:   METEOROLOGY,

.
Subject 6:   NAVIGATION,

.
Subject 7:   SURVEILLANCE,

.
Subject 8:   MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES,

.
Subject 9:   FACILITIES,

.
Subject 10: SYSTEM MONITORING AND CONTROL.

Each subject is briefly described in Sections 2.2.1 to 2.2.10.
2.2.1 INDUCTION
As this training is directed at ab initio ATSEPs, it is necessary to introduce the new ATSEPs to the structure and rules of the organisation that they work for. This includes the international organisations and regulations that control the aviation industry.
2.2.2 AIR TRAFFIC FAMILIARISATION
An understanding of the ATM function is important to all ATSEPs. This enables them to appreciate the consequence of actions that they have to perform and decisions that they have to make in dealing with operational equipment. The air traffic controller is the end-user of most of the services provided by the ATSEPs. Appreciating the requirements and constraints of air traffic control allows the ATSEPs to understand the importance of the ATSEP’s function in the ATM system.
2.2.3 COMMUNICATIONS
The communication system is the most important technical element in the ATM system. All ATSEPs, regardless of specialisation, should be aware of the importance of the communication systems and have a good high-level appreciation of the communication system architecture.
